Whirlwind Wedding Weekend (and a birthday!)

Whew!  What a weekend!  
It was just decided a week prior that harvest and the stars and everything else that had to align were doing just that and we would be able to attend David's cousin's wedding in Minneapolis.  
There was just one little snag.  
I'm not sure if I've mentioned this before, but we have 4 kids!  Usually that isn't a problem, but once in awhile it presents a little bit of a challenge!  (For example, when we are invited to an adults-only wedding several hours from home.)  But, with many, many thanks to our friends and my sister, we were able to divide boys and girls for the weekend and make it all work. 
We fit a whole lot of fun into a little bit of time!

Here we are at the reception, enjoying wine, hors d'oeuvres, and our little mid-harvest break!

Since last year in Breckenridge, the Melius cousins have mastered the art of stuffing as many of us as possible in a photo booth.  Mission accomplished once again.


Here are all of us (spread out just a bit more), with the beautiful couple, Michael and Kate!


After we returned home and before harvest could reconvene, we had a birthday to celebrate!  Dad's 37th birthday to be exact!


Landen bought this table top golf game for his dad.



Teresa photographed some of his cards for us.  When you start to get OLD, you get some pretty funny cards.  :)
We ended the celebration with a delicious supper, made by my mom.  (Really if I hadn't been fortunate enough for the weekend, the icing on the cake was returning home and having people in my kitchen making apple crisp with a lasagna and coleslaw in the fridge!)  David's parents were able to join us, too.  Yay--instant birthday supper!
We are thankful for our friends, family, birthdays and for the harvest we have returned home to!
There's nothing left to say but the obvious. 
God is good!
